The Appeal
The Morgan 4/4 is the purest expression of Morgan's traditional sports car philosophy. Kept within production for over 80 years with only short breaks in its run, this ash-framed, potent little sports car made the Malvern firm a byword for top-down Best-of-British motoring, and the car has only gotten more free-spirited and anarchic against the wider industry's homogenisation.
This particular 1995 example has been in the hands of its current owner for over a decade, during which time it has been well maintained and treated to tasteful upgrades. The car maintains a balance between originality and practical improvements, with many original parts retained alongside tasteful modifications that enhance the ownership experience without compromising the car's character.
